The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

Gender : Woman
Fields of research :
Behavioral neuroscience
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal

I joined ALBA because :
During my attendance at the IBRO congress in Granada, I had the opportunity to meet some of the ALBA network alumni. They spoke about the network and its mission, which captivated me. The fact that a minority can change the world of neuroscience and influence the careers of young neuroscientists is truly inspiring. As an individual from a third country, grants play a crucial role in my ability to attend scientific conferences all over the world. Unfortunately, my university and lab are unable to provide the necessary funds for such events.
